SACRED LIETATURE OF THE MAINS
the text of each of the verses, or even of the kathāngkas cited by him. It is very interesting that Thulabhadda is here brought into connection with the ninth, Haribb) Nanda, and with Sagadūla and Vararuci (v. 144, cf. the statements in Hemac's parisistaparvan 8, fg). The same may be said of the mention of Salavavahaņa in Paitthaga (v. 164; Vikramaditya is, however, not noticed), and of the identification, in all essentials, of all these and similar [74] names1087 with the names of king Dummuba of Pancala, of Nami of Videha, Naggai of Gamdbära (v. 172), and with the Pandavavaṁsa (v. 161) ! As far as the legends admit of being comprehended (which is no easy matter, if we take into consideration the enigmatical character of the text and the corrupt condition of the MS. of the commentary), they are in only partial agreement with our information in respect to these persons obtained from Brahminical sources. The information they, convey, is quite independent of any other source, and is probably the result of their arbitrary desire for change. It is of interest that the gatha (v. 188), cited pp. 158, 159, which is quite in keeping with the character of the verses of Hala, is here inserted in the legend of two prostitutes (Magabasumdari and Magabasiri).
18. asajjhāiyanijjutti, asvādhyayika,° 111 (PX, 110B) vv. Begins1038 : asajjhāianijjuttim bucchāmi dhirapurisapanhattam / jam näūna swihia pavayanasaran uvalabharti || || asaj jhaiar tu duviham ayasanuttham ca parasamuttham ca jani fattha parasamutthar tar parcavihar tu nayavvam 11 2 || Closes : asajjhāianijjutti kahia bhe dhirapurisapannatta/ samjama-tavad dhagāņam niggamthanam mahärisiņam i| 10 This chapter, too, appears to have originally existed by itself (sce above p. 71, on chapter 15). It refers to certain faults in the study and recitation of the śrutam, which are epumerated at the conclusion of the 33 asayaņas : but special reference is made to the cases in which akāle kao sajjhão, etc. The pratikramanasūtram consequently is joined on in Haribh, as follows : nama caüvisāe titthayarāņam Usabhai Māhavirapayyavasāņāņam, ... inam eva niggarthaṁ pavayanam savvam anuttaram ity ādi .. neāuam (naiyayikam) (75) ti samsuddhaṁ ti, sallakattanam ti, siddhimaggaṁ muttimaggaṁ nejjāmaggam nevvanamaggam ti, icchami padikkamium goyaracariyae ity-ādi,
